Nissel edited Social Trends until 1975, when she began work on the "distribution and redistribution of wealth". Publication ceased in 2010.Production

It gathers social and economic data from many governmental and other sources to form a comprehensive picture of how British society is at the moment and how it has changed over time. It also gives analysis of this information.Although an annual production, different sections were published in three groups throughout the year.
